I’m in Hollywood - Chapter 411

[Chapter 408 Do you have any opinions?]

After a while, Harvey left alone, and Elizabeth moved towards Eric and whispered, “Eric, what do you think I bought Miramax?”

Eric motioned for a waiter to take it away. After I finished my dinner plate and asked for a glass of champagne, I asked, “Why do you suddenly have such an idea?”

Elizabeth said, “I heard that Miramax lost a lot of money this year. Last year, “Sex, Lies and After the success of “Video Tape” and “My Left Foot”, the Weinstein brothers bought more than a dozen movies in one go, but not only did most of them fail at the box office, but they also failed to win at the Oscars. I think this is a good opportunity.”

“Okay. Opportunity, what good opportunity? What is your purpose of buying Miramax, even if you buy it, do you have any specific plans for Miramax, and what is the development idea of tg, you have considered these Is it?”

Eric’s series of questions directly confused Elizabeth. After the success of “Silence of the Lambs”, Elizabeth just wanted to strike while the iron was hot, continue to make films, and grow tg, but the specific plan… Producers like them Does the company need any planning?

In addition to making movies, isn’t it still making movies?

“Okay, let’s come one by one,” Eric looked at Elizabeth who was at a loss: “Why did you buy Miramax?”

“For… Oscar, the two brothers are very good at PR Oscar, except In

addition to helping with PR for Silence of the Lambs, they’ve also been nominated for five best foreign language films.”

“While every year there are big hits that make it to the Oscars, most Oscar nominees are still works of art, if you want to You want to buy Miramax. That is to say. Have you decided to focus on making art films for awards in the future?”

Elizabeth shook her head: “Of course not. It’s just…”

“Just let them publicize when needed, right? For the sake of Oscar and specifically bought a company for the production and distribution of literary films, do you think tg has this strength now?”

Elizabeth moved her waist unwillingly, and the silver knife in her hand pulled a prawn on the plate in front of her, and muttered: “Okay, just don’t buy it.”

Eric added: “Actually, most of the Oscars Time is just a icing on the cake, we can’t deny that it plays a very important role in videotape sales, etc. Stars who win Oscars will double their worth. But Hollywood produces hundreds of movies every year, but only so many can compete for Oscars There are a few dozen or so films. If the film company’s business goal is to hit the Oscars, the company will never grow. Orion Films, which recently announced that it has stopped production, is actually an example. I remember a few years ago, Orion Films He has won 18 nominations in one Oscar, but he

is still on the road to bankruptcy.”

Elizabeth waved her small hand to stop: “Okay, I’m just a temporary idea, you don’t have to talk so much, like An old man. My father doesn’t talk as much as you.”

Eric looked at Elizabeth very ‘hurtly’: “If it’s an irrelevant person, do you think I’ll chatter?”

Elizabeth’s face was slightly rosy: “Even if… Even if I’m wrong. Okay.”

“The Silence of the Lambs is tg’s biggest hit, this one is an exception, but then you pick a road movie, um… I haven’t read the script yet. , I won’t make an evaluation for the time being, but have you thought about the focus of TG’s future movie production?”

Elizabeth showed a thoughtful look: “This is really not considered, I just think that as long as you can pick out a good script and make it A good movie is not enough, um, of course, the plan I set for myself is not to make a movie with a cost of more than 30 million US dollars within five years, so that the risk can be minimized, and even if there is an accidental loss, it will not be lost. too much.”

“I will not comment on the Seventh National Congress, but for Firefly, my plan is to make big-budget movies with special effects based on Firefly itself, New Line is responsible for horror thrillers, Flower Pictures will focus on action movies in the future, Pixar is responsible for animation, Because the black ant was an accident, there is no accurate positioning for the time being.” Eric finished briefly and looked at Elizabeth: “So, which type of movie do you think TG is suitable for?”

Elizabeth pinched her delicate little finger and pondered for a moment. : “It seems that if we can’t specialize in art films, the larger category will be comedy films.”

Finally, he said: “That’s it, in the future, tg will specialize in making comedies. In fact, it is very beneficial to focus on one type of film. , just like the Weinstein brothers figured out a set of rules for special PR Oscars, if you switch to making comedies, you can figure out a suitable way over time. And comedy movies are usually very cheap to make, very It’s suitable for independent production companies.”

Elizabeth seemed to have figured out some other meanings, and looked at Eric and said suspiciously: “How do I feel that this is all arranged by you?”

Eric snorted .

He snapped his fingers, showing a complimenting look: “It’s so smart, so, you have no opinion?”

Elizabeth asked weakly: “What if… have an opinion?”

Eric looked at Elizabeth with a smile: “Look, UU is reading a book. www.sonicmtl.com You are using a question sentence, indicating that this is just a hypothesis, then you must have no objection in your heart. If this is the case, then we have decided so happily. Let’s talk about the specific cooperation plan later. In fact, in my heart There are so many good ideas, but I haven’t had the energy to implement them, and I’m not willing to give them to outsiders, so I’m cheap.”

Elizabeth stared at Eric for a few seconds, pursed her lips, and silently crossed her face in front of her. The only prawn left on the dinner plate shoved hard into Eric’s champagne glass, which was a necessary vent, and then lay on the table and said depressedly: “God, how could I meet you like this? Shameless bastard, I’m going crazy.”

Eric looked at a layer of oil in the cup, and the old god sighed on the ground, what a waste.

Standing up regretfully, he exchanged another glass with the waiter, and by the way, he also thoughtfully brought a glass of wine to the girl next to him: “Come on, have a glass of champagne, you should thank me, but I took a big, big one. The ‘gold mine’ will be taken care of by you.”

“I unload ~ unload ~ you,” Elizabeth glared at Eric through gritted teeth, took the glass of champagne and drank it.
